That's odd. The UK election is being held on the USA's Independence Day, while the US election is being held on the UK's Guy Fawkes Night.

Don’t know if we can draw anything from that, but it's curious...

At least 100,000 said to protest to stop the in right now. This crowd looks MUCH bigger than the two previous marches that were estimated at 100,000 by the MetPol. This is organic, and it is growing with every day of atrocity in .

STOP THE GENOCIDE!

Edit - from the stage in Parliament Sq. organisers have just called it a protest of 500,000

Edit - uncertainty over video, so have replaced with one that definitely is from today

Suella just made a statement after a COBRA meeting and described the marches this weekend calling for a ceasefire as 'Hate Marches'

She generalised that description to all 500,000 people on those marches

So, peace is hate

Guess she's never heard of Orwell

She's an evil monster 😡

Nicola Sturgeon on record as calling the Prime Minister at the time (Boris Johnson) a "fucking clown" and though Westminster will be bleating on about 'civility and respect' the rest of the country wants to buy Nicola a drink.

Why would the nationalisation of Thames Water end up putting its debt on the public books? If a company goes bust, and the govt buys the remains, surely the investors simply lose their investment and the debt falls to zero?

They want water companies to operate as profit makers, so they should accept when they go bust too.

Welcome to worldwide America-Europe-Israeli neo-Fascism & genocide, so also neo-Nazism

For decades, racist groups such as the Heritage Foundation in the U.S. have been working to undo the democratic gains of the 20thC.

They know that dictatorship, alone, will save their privilege.

I think keeping the British people impoverished by cutting them off from the rest of their continent, and having them pay for a golden chariot to take an unelected person to his coronation, is a great plan for keeping the UK on a good course of harmony, happiness and peace. Cool cool. 👑

Meanwhile, hospitals in the UK may or may not be able to administer emergency care due to Parliment not adequately funding them. 🤷

"Touted as making Britain “A fairer, greener future” for Britain, “Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan” certainly differentiated it somewhat from the ruling Tories. Now that differentiation has been abandoned and the Labour politicians are claiming that “Labour’s fiscal rules … [are] … more important than any policy”, which is about as moronic as it gets. More of the same from the so-called political voice of the working class.

Experts ignoring the elephant in the room, younger generations are sick and tired of CAPITALISM, it's not 'smartphones' or whatever bullshit excuse the Media comes up with, it's the very toxic society you've forced on us which is making us ill.
